Sunsama can now protect your focus from distracting apps like Slack automatically as soon as you indicate you are focused in Sunsama.
When you start a timer in Sunsama, your Slack status will automatically be updated to let colleagues know you are focused and your notifications will be paused as well.
To use, go to your Slack settings in Sunsama, and toggle on "Reduce Slack distractions when working".
Check out this demo video to get started:
Fine tune to your needs:
- You can choose what you want Sunsama to update in Slack. Update your status or pause notifications or do both.
- You can pick how much detail your colleagues see about what you are working on. By default, Sunsama exposes nothing about your task and simply shows that you are "Focused (via Sunsama)".
Notes:
- Check out the User Manual to learn more
- You will also need to re-authorize Slack to get these updates. Click the update button next to your Slack account to do this!
